What's a good way to level out a voice over

[Happyf03]

I have a Blue snowball but I talk too low so is there any way I can make something sound more loud in real time?

Talk louder.

Realistically you have 4 options.

 

1) Move the mic closer to your mouth

• Moving the microphone closer to your mouth will allow it to pick up the sound of your voice more consistently. Be careful though, with the microphone closer to your mouth it become easier to speak directly into the diaphragm: resulting in more pops/hisses. Remember to talk over the mic and not at it at all times.

2) Talk louder

• If you can't move the mic you can also talk louder to facilitate the pick up of your voice into the microphone.

3) Turn up the output volume

• This is usually done by adjusting the output volume of the channel if your mic if it is running into a mixer. (Virtual or physical) By Adjusting the volume you can increase the loudness of your voice without significantly affecting the noise level in the background. Increasing the volume does not change what the mic picks up, instead it amplifies the existing signal.

4) Turn up the microphone gain

• You can also adjust the gain on your microphone itself (or the input gain on a mixer). However, this will increase the amount of background noise in your recording. This is because gain is in essence the sensitivity of the microphone, so the higher the gain the more sensitive the mic pickup and thus the more of everything that it will pick up. (Including your voice, but also everything around you)

you could also try turning everything else down.  rather than getting hiss from upping the mic gain.

Have someone hold you at gunpoint and tell you to talk louder or else they will shoot
